More than
Business.
Our venture in Egypt is more than a business initiative; it's a step towards ecological resilience. With over 120 million residents, Egypt's plastic waste predominantly ends in landfills or is incinerated, posing severe environmental threats. NRC's state-of-the-art recycling facility aims to revolutionize this scenario, transforming the local perception of used plastic from waste to a valuable resource, thus fostering a sustainable, circular economy.
